manded that the debate on the subject be
adjourned until the cath instant in the in

VI. Clemenceau said II was singular
method Of reassuring the holders Of pub

in peace until the oath, and to promise
ths there would then be a crisis such as
had never before occurred. The
public. he declared, had too long awaited
an explanation. There was practically
no government. The ministry was not
in condition 10 guide a republican policy.
Parliament was abandoned to the direc-
lion of the right. The law officers Of
the State and the police were in conflict,
and the administrative disorder was COM

Republican Extravaganza.

The Senate during its expiring hours
passed bill appropriating $4,000 to
pay the expenses OF Investigations or
dered by that body. 1t is presumed
that good portion Of the amount is
intended to defray the expenses Of the
witnesses that have been hauled all the
way from Texas to testify in the alleged
Texas-outrage cases, an investigation of
which has been going on under the
resolution of Mr.. HoAR. Had this in
vestigation PANIED out as Mr.. HoAR in
tended it should, it would have been
cheap for the Republican party at any
price. A Republican Senate could well
have afforded to misappropriate thrice
$50, 900 for the purpose of getting up
genuine outrage boom in the interest
of the grand old party. Considering,
however, that the investigation has
proved boomerang, it must be con-
ceded that Mr.. HoAB and his Republi-
can brethren in the upper house have
been guilty of q most unwarranted
piece of extravaganza.

west vlrrnia,s New Senator.

v
The Wheeling Register, the leading
organ of the Democratic party in West
Virginia, says:
TnR MISTAKE SEEMING GREATER. -
Governor Wilson's declaration that he
will appoint Mr.. Lucas as United States
senator is proving a bad stroke OF poll
cy. il we are TO Judge from the general
sentiment. Not only the supporters OF
the caucus Democrats are dissatisfied,
but even most OF the anti-caucus men
arc said to be opposed TO such course
on the part of the Governor. II places
the anti-caucus men in q bad light be-
fore the Democracy, and Mr.. Lucas
and the Governor IN q much worse
light. 1t leaves the people ground
to infer that the bitter fight made
against the majority was for personal
rather than conscientious and patriotic
ends, as was claimed. Some OF the anti
caucus men will not envy being placed
in such light, and Governor Wilson
Will not only make the chasm deeper
between himself and the Democrats who
have been opposed to his rumored
course in the senatorial matter, but
ALLEVIATE many Of his staunchest friends.
This is bad thing for man who has
political aspirations to do.
The safe course for the Governor to
pursue would be to let the senatorial
question rest with the called session OF
the Legislature. He could scarcely lose
any friends in this way and would be
sure to gain many.

The Fourteenth Amendment.

The first section of the fourteenth
article of amendments to the Federal
Constitution is relied upon to support
all sorts OF suits. The last appeal to it
WAS in Georgia the other day before the
United States District Court, Judge
EMERY SPKKR. The words OF that sec
tion which are 30 often invoked for the
protection Of imaginary rights or the
correction of imaginary wrongs are as
follows:
"No State shall make or enforce any
law which shall abridge the privileges
or immunities OF citizens OF the United
States nor shall any State deprive any
person OF life, liberty, or property with
out due process OF law nor denv to
any person within its jurisdiction the
equal protection Of the laws"
Some persons in Georgia have con-
tended that under this amendment
they had right to follow their usual
vacations without taking out licenses
- required by the State laws. For in.
stance, one HooyEs, who had been
convicted in Chatham county OF selling
liquor without license and cntsnccd 10
fine, or imprisonment. refused 10 pay
the fine, and sued out a writ Of h4Jcas
corpus to keep from going to jail. he
claimed that the refusal 10 grant him

Fatal Fire tn New York.

New YORK, March A fire that
broke out shortly after 2 o'clock this
morning in the shoe store OF l.. Tesch-
ner on the first floor of the four-story
frame building No. $50 Eighth avenue,
spread with great rapidity to the adj
joining smaller frame structure, Nos.
692 and 694, and destroyed them all.
The houses were inhabited by number
of colored families, who were aroused
and fled IN terror. All they owned
WIS burned up, there being no time to
save anything but life. In the confu-
sion the absence OF one of the families
was not noted, and it was not until the
fire was nearly over that Mrs. Sarah L.
Johnston, aged fifty years, a colored
woman, who lived on the fourth floor
of the building No. 692 Eighth avenue,
was missed. Search was made, and
her charred body was found, with that
of her six-year-old adopted daughter,
Nay Johnston, in their room. Both
had been burned 10 death.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The Presi-
dent and most of the members of the
Cabinet remained at the White House
considering Legislative matters until
about 4 o'clock this morning. They
reassembled in the Cabinet-room again
at 8 o'clock this morning. All the de-
partments were represented, Mr.. Fair
child representing the Treasury De-
partment. Between 8 and 11:30 the
president had acted on all the bills re-
ceived by him up TO the latter hour.
He then repaired to the Capitol upon
an assurance from Speaker Carlisle
that the District of Columbia bill
and the general deficiency bill
would certainly fail unless he did
SO. The President acted on all the
bills at the Capitol that he was able
in the short time allotted to him. The
party returned to the White House
about l 2. NJ. and then separated.
The President held his usual public re-
ception in the East room at 1:30
o'clock and shook hands with about
$50 people.

AFTER ADJOURNMENT.
The Contest Over Trstter-A Special
senate Session Not Probable.

CBy telegraph TO the Dispa.ch.l
WASHINGTON, March 4.-There seems
to have been very little contest in the
Senate over the confirmation OF James
NJ. Trotter, the colored nominee to the
Office of Recorder of Deeds Of the Dis
trict OF Columbia, and no utterance OF
the Senate has been or is to be expected
on the subject. The action Of that
body, though apparently inconsistent
with the principles enuncisted In con-
nection with the Matthews case, upon
the heels OF which it 30 closely fol-
lows, is explained in Q variety OF
ways. Trotter came, it is urged,
with an excellent record as an ex-
Union soldier, which with the
Senate counts for much. No charge
was made against him, as was the case
with Matthews, either of business or
political nature, and there was nothing
to be said in his opposition beyond the
fact that he is an alien to the District.
Upon this point, so strongly urged In
the Matthews case, it is stated that the
Senate has made record of its princi-
pies, having pronounced itself emphati-
cally in favor of the selection OF
District man for a purely local office.
1t is said at the White House that
there is no probability Of special ses-
sion of the Senate being called by the
President for the purpose of acting on
nominations or for any other purpose.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
and the successor TO Secretary Manning
will probably be appointed next week
or the week following.
1t was understood up TO late hour
of the forenoon that the President
would not occupy his room at the Capt.
tol, as has been the custom OF his pre-
decessors, but nevertheless he came,
being influenced doubtless to some ex-
tent by messages sent to him from the
members of both branches. Speaker
Carlisle telegraphed at IL o'clock that
the Presidents presence was necessary
to save the District of Columbia and
deficiency bills, which could not be en-
rolled in time TO reach the White
House-over q mile away.
Senators Sherman and Salisbury, the
committee appointed at IL o'clock on
the part Of the Senate to notify the
President that Congress awaited any
final message he might have to send,
caused it to be made known that they
would perform their duty by going to
the Presidents room at the Capitol, and
if they did not find him there would
report the fact 10 the Senate, assuming
that he had no further communication
to make.
The following additional nominations
were confirmed by the Senate to-day
Henry r. Harris, Of Georgia, Third
Assistant Postmaster-General; Dsbney
H. Maury, of Virginia, to be Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo-
Tertiary of the United States to the Re-
public of Colombia.
Postmasters o. ID. Derr, Roanoke,
Va. M. Glennan, Norfolk.
Owing to the failure OF the deficiency
bill, the recent act of Congress extend
ing the free-delivery system to cities
and towns having not less than 10, 900
inhabitants or a postal revenue of not
less than $40, 1000, becomes imperative
until the beginning of the next fiscal
year, when the regular appropriation
act goes into effect.

The OLDEST MAN IN AMERICA
atlanta, Ga, March 3.-Among the
callers at the Governors Office this
morning was Mr.. j. II. Lester, of
Henry county, an old gentleman III
years of age. Mr.. Lester was born at
Nassau, n. c., in 1869. He fought in
the war OF 1912, and also under Gene
raj Floyd in the wars against the Greeks
and Seminoles. He had three sons in
the Confederate service in the late
war.-NelO York Times.
A likely story. How old were his
sons? If the difference between father
and sons was not greater than usual,
the latter were over sixty years old in
1861. AS he was born in 1863 he was
ninety-two years old in 1861.
